What kind of people are they? I had a potluck/volleyball wedding and
everyone had a wonderful wonderful time. People who loathe dressing up
for weddings and always beg off came. We even had a few gate crashers.
One sib manned the grill, another manned the bathtub filled with ice and
drinks, a SIL ran around picking up every dirty dish, and it was fun,
relaxed, and when I watched the many vids people made, I got in on all
the conversations I missed. Between meat for grill, drinks and a tent,
we spent 400 bucks. It was so much fun, two children were said to have
been conceived that night, neither ours, BTW.
For weddings: think outside the box and don't go into debt.
